Bomb the dam, and we will come on foot and bomb you guys. Going long distance without food is not a problem to a nation that starved for generations. One thing you shouldn’t forget is that there is heroism in every single Ethiopian’s heart. I recommend you see the film ‘Brave Heart’ again. It is not only a film for entertainment; it is a lesson for you Egyptians. Go watch it again and save your lives. There is a saying in my country: A wise learns from others and a fool learns from himself. Once we start war there is no going back. We are proven warriors.

The Muslim Brootherhood are trying to hide their short comings by beating war drums. What would they do after bombing the dam? Occupy it? Unthinkable. Do they think the Ethiopians wouldn&#39;t do everything to sabotage the flow? Then they should go to war which is unthinkable to win. The best policy for Egypt is to cooperate and nothing else. But Egyptians have to appologise for destabilising the country for over forty years for apparent reasons. These destabilisations process has cost Ethiopia a lot of lives, money and our sea ports. They have radicalise muslim groups and were demonstrating every friday citing stupid slogans. Egypt has to stop all these sabotage and ask forgiveness of the Ethiopians.

Do you think hurting someone is only physical? Is that how you see the current issue of Nile? <br />For us seeing that dam touched is like seeing somebody mutilating your brother/father or raping your sister/mother or child on your naked eyes. If you define that situation ‘no hurt’ then we have very basic difference in understanding pain/hurt. <br />Honey make no mistake we building of the GRD dam is not in the way you built Awasn Dam that is the from support of foreign donors. We saved money from our daily bread to contribute for the building of our dam.

But it is concerned that this dam will make Ethiopia economically strong and boost her bargaining power. The Egyptians have been blocking access to finance for any kind of project on Nile; now time has come for us Ethiopians to afford to build such a huge dam with our money. Ones this is done, it will finance other projects with out looking for a penny from international financiers, who basically demand Egyptians&#39; blessing.

Not an Asian people! This recognition is existentially crucial for Egypt, because whether Egypt approves of it or not, or even knows it or not, her fortunes are perennially anchored in the fortunes of Africa. Delve into your history Egyptians! Compare Egypt when it was African in the Pharaohnic period — when it explicitly admitted its African origins, traded with Africans and checked those many Asiatic peoples before they could infiltrate Egypt - with the period after the Asiatics and Europeans invaded and ruled Egypt; it has been a period full of humiliation, impoverishment, soul slavery (Semitic dogmas), lies, female chattel slavery, etc. There is no difference between a Semitic Israeli, Semitic Lebanese or Semitic Syrian, all of them are a danger to Egypt&#39;s welfare because they instinctively try to domesticate Egypt and her people for their own benefit. Levantine people seek to domesticate Egypt to be their war horse which they will ride against the Israel enemy, they want to pay for the war effort against Israel with the blood of the Egyptian people. Every time a Levantine writes a book, article, email, or speaks on Egypt, his primary thought is how can I manipulate Egyptians into dying for my interests. Don&#39;t take my word for it, observe! What makes the Levantine manipulation feasible is that the Egyptians themselves suffer from a foreigner complex, especially indoctrinated to consider the semitic easterners as the source of the standards which Egypt should follow. Why? because Egypt&#39;s most recent conquerors — Arabs — made sure to implant it into the Egyptian mind that they were from a holy (?) place of origin with a holy &quot;gift&quot;. However the African Egyptian soul remains, and this is proved by the fact that although Egyptians have, up to present, been partly domesticated by the Semitic Arabs from the east, their African soul rebels against this domestication and is wholly repulsed by the customs and character of those who invade and domesticate; the Egyptian soul convicts the invader as being uncouth, devious, money-lovers, etc. Be honest Egyptians, on the one hand you look down on your invader, on the other you look up to him. <br /><br />The African is the opposite of this Asiatic invader. He wants partnership and friendship; he doesn&#39;t want to domesticate you with his politics and religion. <br /><br />King regards to Egypt (land of the wise Pharoah Ahmose)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8003335.post-50703251408425930102013-06-12T00:20:55.012+02:002013-06-12T00:20:55.012+02:00&quot;Ethiopia is attacking Egypt&#39;s life line....&quot;Ethiopia is attacking Egypt&#39;s life line.

But afraid of Egypt absolutely not. You think you can come to our country and enslave us and impose your will on us. You do not know your history. Ethiopia is a sure grave for bullies, and arrogant leaders like yours. Ask Khedive Ismail of Egypt who lost two wars and thousands of men in 1874, 1876 trying to control the source of the Nile. Two generation of Italians bullies who were buried in the battlefields of Ethiopia. So we are not afraid of EYGPT. NO one in Ethiopia wants to harm Egypt. But it is time for Egyptians to learn to respect other nations specially Africans. If it comes to war. I hope it does not come to that - then Egypt will face the same fate of all these powers who tried to enslave us. But why go there why not solve it peacefully. Unlike you we do not want to add to the suffering of the people of Egypt. We know what it means to suffer. <br /><br />Why is it the first thing we hear from Egyptian politicians is intimidation, insult and arrogance like a bully on a playground.

Yes, it is the ultimate truth that God has sent the Nile for all mankind, not only for Egypt, to drink it and pray/thank the Lord. Thinking otherwise, will be standing against God.

Hence the lack of scientific knowledge and the blasting of &quot;end of Egypt- National threat rhetoric&quot;. The Ethiopians are not looking to negotiate the building of the dam but to appeal to the sense of responsibility and logic towards it. Unfortunately there has been little sense or logic to be found in Egyptian politics of late. <br /><br />Egypt and Ethiopia could be a prime example of Diplomacy and sharing of Sovereign assets with equanimity and understanding which is sorely lacking in the region due to the ongoing internal conflicts. And it does not take negotiations or a treaty but a meeting of minds for that.<br /><br />It amuses me that once again the MB and Morsi take the negative propaganda track instead of one of the &quot;Great Benefactor&quot; to Ethiopia and the project touting it&#39;s benefits to Egyptians which would have gained the support of the sensible and understanding. A tactic which would have turned the heads of the people that are the greatest anti-Morsy supporters.

After Mubarak, the transitional government was working with Ethiopia in good faith. <br /><br />Before Morsi took power, more than dozens Egyptian politicians visited Ethiopia and consulted with Ethiopian authorities. They were no problem. Ethiopia does not depend on the Nile as Egypt. Therefore, Ethiopia does not have to use the Nile a lot. This is well understood from the part of Ethiopians. They do not allow Egypt to suffer not because of any treaties or because they are bullied by radical and hateful politicians. They will make sure as much as possible water smoothly flow to Egypt, because Ethiopians are friend to Egyptians. We are all God&#39;s children.<br /><br />Here is what need to be done immediately:<br /><br />- Egypt needs to send a high level delegation of people that are matured and respectful to others, perhaps from the oppositions like Al Bareidi.<br /><br />- Let those who called for war, be fired from the government as a sign of gesture towards Ethiopians and to show that Egypt is committed to peace and dialog. There cannot be true dialog when those who gave unhelpful comments are not held accountable.<br /><br />- Let there be an honest and serious discussion between Egypt and Ethiopia. For example arrangements can be made for Ethiopia to fill the reservoir slowly so that the impact against Egypt is neglige able. <br /><br />- Let Egypt distance itself from groups that are working to destabilize Ethiopia, as Mubarak had been doing for years. <br /><br />The Nile is a gift from God. As long as there is friendship and brotherhood, it can benefit all of us.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8003335.post-4288623597253688522013-06-10T23:37:31.456+02:002013-06-10T23:37:31.456+02:00In order to divert attention from itself, the Egyp...<br />In order to divert attention from itself, the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood leader is sending Egypt in to unprecedented crisis. Morsi hijacked a legitimate demand for democracy and prosperity. Egypt’s future is not in war mongering with African but with investment and collaboration with Africans,<br /><br /> Morsi realizing he cannot hold power without mongering war and diverting the attention of Egyptians from their legitimate quest and struggle he is following Ayatollah. Like Ayatollah of Iran he has is planning to send Egyptian to war to assert his authority. To shut their mouth and crash them as treaters. That is his selfish plan and it is shameful, <br /><br />This is not Ethiopia’s war but a war 10 other countries. All of them want to drink from water and they know the implication of the MB, so they might rally to shrade everything. The Arab league was a threat for most Africans but no more. Most are old producing and they no more fear. <br /><br /> This is the weakest time for the Arab world has come since it&#39;s existence, No Syria, No Iraq, no Libya, No Tunisia, no Sudan to stand with Egypt, May be this a sinister move by other forces to punish Egypt too since it failed to plunge itself into crisis like Syria,<br /><br />This is what is going to happen, Now Morsi has to send it’s army to 10 countries to fight and control monopoly of the water, while could have secured the flow with peaceful means. Once started has no choice but to fight Ethiopia, Kenya, South Sudan, Uganda, Tanzania, Burundi, Rwanda, and Eritrea and their allied countries. <br /><br />Eritrea&#39;s failed leader may sell itself for Egypt pound for short gain but he too would not deny his people from drinking from the Nile or sign an agreement honoring Egyptian *historic* right. So Egyptian threat of war is going to Unit all African&#39;s against Egypt. Egypt politician forget that it is more than 50 years since Africa throw out their colonialize and The MB cannot impose new colonial agreement.<br /> <br /> Second it may be easy to destroy Ethiopia’s dam but that would make Aswan dam a legitimate military target by Ethiopia and most definetly by Israel. In fact, Israel may subtly encourage Morsi, the fool, to get carried away and give them a legitimate target that can wipe out Cairo,<br /><br />As the saying goes a person in glasshouse does not throw the first stone. The future is not in bullying but cooperation. Let’s hope for Egyptians remove Morsi to come and cooperate with Africans, Hydropower does not consume water and let the upper countries use it for power generation and Egypt for irrigation, that is the only win-win solution and the best outcome for Egypt, Display of arrogance may trigger the worst behaviors from Africans. The geopolitical is also changing; East Africa will soon overtake the Middle East in oil production.
